diesel shortage

[n8zcc]

You can buy used 55 gallon drums from Facebook marketplace and Craigslist. There are a ton in my area around $20 each. I believe you can attach pumps to the drums.

Just an FYI, any moisture that collects in the drum will promote those pesky microbes that eat hydrocarbons and live in the layer betwent the diesel and water. I've seen a few YouTubes of guys and the pain they went through to get them out.

don’t use plastic for long term storage if possible

don’t use plastic for long term storage if possible

Why? Is it plastic in general like totes that were designed for beat juice or other food products? What about plastic fuel cans?

You need to offer up more information that supports your statement to help us understand.

I'm still VERY interested in the increased numbers posted upstream. Or, are they not related to production and just show export?

That increase is counter to some information (propaganda?) I've heard.

If true, then the supply should be able to outstrip demand.

Obviously, if production is relatively stable (or declining) but EXPORTS are far higher than the have been, then domestic supply will be far lower than demand and we get the higher fuel prices we see at the pumps.

So, I'm off to look at some PRODUCTION numbers.

thanks, that's what I'm trying to learn more about, appreciate the input

My set up. Works well.

Why so snide? I bolded, and reddened, your snide start. The chart you posted after that is nice. It shows 2021 and 2022...answering my question in my earlier post. Note: you did NOT provide this chart previously.

Let me help you, it is RIGHT HERE, LITERALLY THE FIRST LINK I POSTED.

diesel shortage

anyone concerned about a potential shortage? would it be wise to keep fuel on hand for personal commuting? I own other cars that run on gasoline, but I’d rather drive my Ram.

It is all on the site

just hit the data dropdown and go fishing in the rabbit hole. You can view it all kinds of ways, by every single country, by port of entry or exit, what product(s).

Nice setup, I see that your fuel tank is installed inside a shed, away from the direct sunlight,

Questions, I can see jugs of DEF in the image, your signature shows that you have a 22 Ram with the Hemi and a 06 Ram 2500 with the 5.9 Cummins, neither require DEF, does your Kubota tractor require DEF? My 2016 Kubota doesn’t, but it is the small BX series, so why have DEF?

Tank is actually in my large pole barn.

Yea, my Kubota is a M5-111 and a 2018 model I think, (too lazy to look it up now) but it does require DEF. However it really sips the DEF, so much slower that my past 2019 6.7 Cummins.

I have had other Kubotas ( love them ) MX5100 and M4950 which did not require the DEF, but this newer and bigger one does. The 105 HP and cab is very nice.

Been in the woods chasing whitetails!

Timmins, Northern Ontario it’s $10.91 for a Canadian “imperial gallon” of fuel, “Imperial” must mean you have to be “Royalty” to be able to afford it, it was $5.68/gallon in the summer of 2021.

When the current administration took office and immediately attacked our energy sector I picked up a 45 gallon tank for the back of my truck. (a benefit of diesel) Shortly I bought two inexpensive used 275 gallon containers to store fuel. Bought it for 2.69 a gallon. Covered it as it was stored above ground and treated it. Knowing I should use it in a year I used it when fuel was up to about 5.50 a gallon.

I was hoping to refill them at about $4 as I suspected this administration would try to temporarily drive down fuel prices before mid terms. Unfortunately I never got it done. My main concern isn't saving some money. (last time over $1500) But making sure I have fuel when needed if we return to fuel shortages and "supply chain issues". Gas lines and outages like we had in the 70s when President Carter was in office with policies and agendas much like that of our current administration.

Sounds like a good plan. It’s sad we’re even talking about this, when we were energy independent two years ago.

Well. Diesel where I am has dropped 0.30 a litre (1.20 gal) over the past week. From 2.35 to 2.01. Hopefully it keeps dropping. Lol.

Canadian math...

2.35 - 2.01 = 0.30

 

[Darksteel165]

Canadian math...

2.35 - 2.01 = 0.30

It's ok.
They are sorry.

 

[Rebelguy2020]

In his defence, he probably meant diesel has dropped over 30 cent per litre the past week. Simply move the word over over!
I’m sorry that you missed that.
